Star Awards

The UCLA Healthcare STAR Award Program recognizes all staff, volunteers and physicians (both faculty and residents) for going above and beyond the call of duty. Every four months STARs are selected from a pool of extraordinary UCLA Healthcare personnel who have received at least three certificates of recognition from patients or coworkers.
